? panying drawings, as follows: Fi ure 1' is a transverse section of the stove, an Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the base of the stove in section. Fig. 3 is a detailed view showing the foot-rest and its means of support.

The bod of the stove is formed of the base A, to whic the legs B are attached, and the front of the stove over this manifold.

.neath the fire-box O.' The grate D is arranged in the fire-box and is supplied with some heat-retaining material, such as fire-brick. Be-

burners E E. Pipes e 0e lead to these burners from the mixers e e '6. Just outside of the mixers are arran ed the valves e c c and these are connecte with the manifold F. The foot-rest G extends alon itlhe t as extending from it the ln 9, by which it is secured to the arms or brackets g. These arms or brackets g are secured to the stovebody. The valve-stems e e e are arranged between the foot-rest and the stove-body and are so exposed that they may be operated. The manifold F rests in a pocket g at the end of the bracket 'g. The lu g is secured to the bracket 9 by means 0 the bolt 9 and when so secured it secures the manifold F in place in the ocket g In stoves of this 0 aracter as heretofore made the manifold has been placed at the end, and this position of the valve makes it inconvenient to operate them. By arranging the manifold under thefoot-rest not only is the manifold protected, but the stove resents a sightly appearance and the va ves may be 0 erated from the'most convenient point ont e stove.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a gas-stove, the combination with :ate is arranged a plurality of the stove-body, a foot-rest arranged along the front of and supported by the body, a plurality of burners, a manifold arranged under and protected by the foot-rest, and connections between the manifold and the burners. 2. In a gas-stove, the combination with the stove-body, a foot-rest arranged along the front of and supported by the body, a

plurality of burners, a manifold arranged under and protected by the foot-rest, connections between the manifold and the burners, valves in said connections, stems for said valves being between the body of the stove and the foot-rest.

3. In a gas-stove, the combination of the stove-body; the bracket 9 secured to the stove-body; a foot-rest G secured to the bracket; amanifold arranged under the footrest andsecured in place between the bracket or arm 9 and the foot-rest as these parts are assembled.

4. In a stove, the combination of the stovebody; a plurality of burners arranged in the body; the bracket 9 secured to the body and extending therefrom and having the pocket 9 therein; manifold F arranged in said pocket extending along the front of the stove; connections from the manifold with said burners; a foot-rest arranged over the manifold and acting with the brackets 4 securing the manifold in place; means for securing the foot-rest to the bracket.

'5. In a gas-stove, the combination of the inclosed stove-body, a plurality of burners E,

pipes, and arranged outsidethe body, valves 6 e, .a manifold connected with said valves and extending along the front of the stovebody, a foot-rest G arranged over the manifold and secured to the body of the stove, the

stems 0 e of the valves extending upwardly between the foot-rest and the body of the stove.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
